Fair Isle Christmas Stocking - Printed Pattern Only

“This Christmas stocking provides a great basis for classes. Techniques include provisional cast-on, I-cord bind off, short row heel, changing colors (purl ridges), and stranded knitting. Change colors to make a coordinating "family" of stockings, customize with optional duplicate stitch name in space provided at top.” ~Joan
